What to do about Linas!

So he hasn't played the last two games and he's sitting out of practice again. This injury has been a recurring problem...would love to believe he's not actually injured and this is part of holding him off for a trade package but history suggests otherwise.

So, I'm asking what do the Raps do here with this guy? Or more appropriately, what do you suggest they do with him? He could be amnestied - if they won't use it on Bargs, and certainly not Calderon or Amir then Kleiza would be the last option. (I think so anyways, correct me if I'm wrong). Would clear up some financial wiggle room anyways were it to happen.

This is just not a great situation for the team or Kleiza himself, unfortunately he just can't seem to stay healthy. Anyways thoughts about his future with Toronto? how long it lasts, what direction it goes?

The team isn't allowed to amnesty until the off-season anyways, so it isn't really a consideration at this point. In the off-season they could evaluate whether amnestying Kleiza, Amir or Bargnani makes any sense, but it is far to early to predict whether any of those scenarios are sensible.

What to do with him? Let him heal up and try and earn time on the floor when he gets healthy. Nothing else the team can do at this point.

I think he'll be packaged along with Bargnani or Jose if either gets dealt or we'll make a small deal at the deadline where we'll give him up for a player that we'll cut or keep as a 15th man so basically a salary dump.

@CB29 I'd like to think he can be packaged in a deal, although I don't know what team would take him with his history of injuries. Then again Hoffa WAS traded, which is really just proof that anything can happen! haha

He's played ok. He's just been pretty inconsistent and recently has been babying for calls. one no call really throws off his game which is why i feel that i'm not as comfortable playing him. He's playing with the whole leagues out to get me mentality which makes it exceedingly difficult to succeed on the court. That being said, he can knock down the 3 and he has a good low post game. I'm sure that many times wouldn't mind him.

Jonas is settling in fine and it doesn't make sense to have a player you don't need on the roster just to make another player feel more comfortable. Sponsoring Jonas's parents or siblings to canada would be a much more cost effective and team effective approach.

He's had a few big games for us, he might be valuable enough to be packaged with bargs, I'd keep Jose over Linas, but Im not sure why every one is hating on him he's been playing decent with the minutes he's given.
